Doesn't this scare anyone?

I think you're talking to yourself again!



Not that there's anything wrong with that.

But - well, it appears that the promise of cutting the deficit in half ain't exactly working out. I feel the pain of Simpson and Bowles.

Shut up, law. You can't blame Obama for this. The GOP controls the House which controls the purse strings. So they're just as much at fault as Obama and the Democrats in the Senate.

since nobody else wants to talk about the important issues, I guess I am. maybe we should take the west cost aproach and see what celeberty is making a fool of themselves today and ignore that we will all be bankript by the time we kick Obama, reid, and boehner out of office.

>Hey, who said that? PA! PA!

Not only that, but did you notice that they're ignoring this VERY IMPORTANT POLITICAL ISSUE that no one else has brought up before? They must be (select one from the list below)

sheep! Baa baa!
cows in a herd! Moo moo!
lemmings! Run run!

It's not an Obama experiment any more than personal computing is a Bill Gates experiment. Just as we would have arrived at the same point in computing with or without Gates; we have arrived at this point regardless of Obama.

We are a part of a first run 200+ year old test of Democracy and capitalism. It's had it's ups and downs; and though the ups have been great, the downs really suck. You'd like to think we would find an equilibrium between capital relentlessly pursuing profit and Democracy seeking a fair distribution of that profit. Isn't working.

Does not appear the experiment will last even as long as several other of the great social/economic experiments that eventually proved unsustainable.

The flaws are sytemic, we need a new model - not more boogeymen.

people have until April 17th to mail in their checks. You can be sure I'm in no hurry to send a few more thousand to them. And it's equally unsurprising that people rushed to get their refunds, as noted in the article. But without March results, it seems premature to cry wolf over income tax receipts.

Many states have been reporting better than expected revenues, which would suggest that incomes were improving. And with the tax debate and the ridiculous debate over FICA tax rates to start the year, many may have waited as there are still some tax decisions that can be made that impact the end result.

whith these numbers are we now ready to end the Obama experiment?


Blew up in our faces, didn't it?

Not to worry...'Mericans have the reputation to do the same thing again and again and expect different results. The next experiment is in the works.
My reality and yours are quite different.

I used to think when things got bad that any change would be good, but now I question that line of thinking. I hope others do also.
